One of the speeding up while not on boot but in operation can be preload
which I have uploaded to bugzilla already and needs a sponsor. 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333491


http://sourceforge.net/projects/preload

I'll quote from their page.

"preload is an adaptive readahead daemon. It monitors applications that
users run, and by analyzing this data, predicts what applications users
might run, and fetches those binaries and their dependencies into memory
for faster startup times."

Cheers,
